~Chloe's P.O.V.
The boys were hilarious throughout the car ride and I don't think I ever laughed that hard in my life! Honestly, I'm not sure if there was a time I didn't laugh at all during the trip home! It was a nice drive home though, I felt closer to the band already in those thirty minutes it took to reach my house.
I rolled my eyes teasingly at something the boys said as my grip tightened on the door knob, twisting, and pushing it forward. I blinked, waiting for my eyes to adjust to the darkness as I walked into the pitch black room, my fingers running softly along the wall until they brushed over the power switch.
"It's so dark in here!" Cried Ashton, bumping into something and creating a loud "thud." Not a second later he whined loudly, "Owe that hurt!"
I laughed while flipping it on and immediately bright light showered the living room. I turned around, my gaze fixed on a pouting Ashton standing behind one of the sofas, rubbing his knee. Another giggle left my lips as I called out to him, "Are you okay?!"
Ash shakes his head though he was smiling now, "No! It hurts!"
Just as I was about to walk over to the "injured" drummer, Calum's voice bounced off the walls, echoing around the room, "My eyes! My eyes! It's too bright in here!" He screamed jokingly with his hands fisted over his eyes, covering them. He started to run around still blinded and unable to see, which I knew was a bad idea. Unsurprisingly, Calum tripped over a plush pillow on the floor a few feet away from him and fell flat on his face.
These boys...
I tried ignoring the clumsy boys as Mike and Luke broke out chuckling behind me, each of them identically grasping their stomach as they laughed. Sam, who just walked through the door, stared at the scene before him with wide eyes. I grinned, it actually was quite funny when you think about it... If I walked in seeing Calum rolling around on the floor, Ashton still complaining about hitting his leg, and Luke and Michael unable to control their own laughter, I think I would have been really confused too.
"I'm back! Is anyone home?" I called out but besides five boisterous boys that didn't know how to be quiet, the only thing that answered me was silence.
I head towards the kitchen, not bothering to tell the boys since they weren't paying attention anyways. As usual, I head straight to the refrigerator and pluck the yellow post-it note from the fridge's surface. I glance at it, automatically recognizing the handwriting as my fathers.
Called back to work,
Gonna stay out late,
Don't wait up. -Dad
I sighed, not expecting him to be home anyways because if he was, than that would have been a surprise. Ever since my mother passed away two years ago from a tragic car accident on the way back home, dad blamed himself. Of course it wasn't actually his fault and he couldn't have prevented her death, but he's still beating himself up over it.
He buries himself in his work and I rarely see him around anymore, but it doesn't really bother me now. You kind of get use to not seeing your father around the house when he hasn't been in it for two years. When he is here, he usually just locks himself in his study room and continues focusing on his job. I never really go in that room, I don't want to bother him and he doesn't bother me. Sometimes if I'm up early or if he's leaving work later in the day, we'll see each other but not many words are said. It was just how our relationship goes and I learned not to question it anymore.
I crumple up the small note paper in my hand and throw it in the recycle bin as I head back into the living room.
Sam's the first to look up at my entrance and twirls his black Iphone5 in his right hand, "I hope you don't mind Chloe but I called Natalie and asked her to come over."
I was sure my chocolate brown eyes lit up at the mention of Natalie's name. I clapped my hands together and ran over to hug him. "Oh my god! She's been stuck in Hawaii with her family and I haven't talked to her in ages!"
"I know!" Sam chuckled, hugging me tightly back. "She just flew back early today and she wanted to surprise you but... I couldn't help it, I had to tell you!" he squealed.
Calum scratched the back of his neck, raising his hand childishly, "Uh who's Natalie?"
I giggled, grinning at his direction as Sam and I pulled apart, "Non-other than our best friend!"
Sam quietly walked over to Michael and Ashton stepped forward, placing his hands on Calum's shoulder saying, "Oh cool! I can't wait to meet her!"
"I can't wait for you to meet her either!" Sam calls out, saying the exact same words I wanted too. I gave him an annoyed look and he just flashes me an innocent smile.
I scoff, narrowing my eyes at him playfully before realizing that there were only four boys in the room...
I counted again to make sure. One, two, three... and four.
"Hey, um where's Luke?" I asked curiously.
The four boys shrugged their shoulders as if they didn't have a clue, but the smiles frozen on each others faces gave it away.
I rolled my eyes, leaving them in the family room as I tried to find Luke. I called his name repeatedly as I walked down the halls but for whatever weird reason, he wasn't answering me. "Seriously Luke?" I mumbled under my breath as I checked every bathroom in the house and each room and all the places I'd think he'd be hiding at; which included floor cabinets and closets.
Finally I gave up defeated and went upstairs to my room for a quick change of clothing. Just as I opened the door to my bedroom, there stood a wide eyed boy in his blue Nirvana shirt and black skinny jeans that had a hole on one side. He looks up, turning around at the sudden sound, a cheeky smirk on his lips as he blinks at me with those bright blue eyes. He runs a hand through his blond hair as he simply says, "Hello!"
I smile despite how flustered I felt, "Why are you in my room?"
He shrugs his shoulders, sticking out his tongue shortly before facing the other way and continuing to look through my personal items. "Oh! This is cute!" He exclaims while digging a hand through my dressing cabinet and pulling out my pink bra with miniature white patterned hearts scattered across it. He places it on his chest, modeling it in front of the mirror and does random poses.
I giggled at how dorky he was being, even though I was trying desperately to keep a strict, calm face. "Put that down!" I hurriedly went to his side and yanked the bra from his hands. I messily threw it back in the draw, slamming it roughly, and causing the wooden dresser to make a loud screeching sound in protest.
Somehow, by the time I looked back at Luke, he was gripping two of my underwear's in his hand, holding them just above his head. He grins up at me trying to act clueless, "Which one is better?" His left hand moves rapidly and my attention travels to the stripped undies he's clutching.
"Ohh wait! I like this one a lot," he teases, now waving his right hand where he was clenching my light baby blue thong.
I blush in extreme embarrassment, "Give those back!" I practically pleaded.
His smile widens, and he shakes one of his fingers, "Not so fast... I want to see you in them first," Luke teases.
"Ha! In your dreams," I smirk back, trying to grab the two undergarments from his hand but he pulls away, already guessing my actions. "Damn it Luke!" I hiss in annoyance, pushing him feebly. "Get out of my room!"
"Don't you want your panties back?" He laughs, walking over towards me and dangling them over my head.
Why was he so tall? Ugh.
I tried taking them again and thankfully, this time he lets me. I saunter to my dresser and put it back where it belongs just as the other boys barge into my room.
"You have to be kidding with me right now!" I whine
Luke chuckles at me in amusement while Ashton says a friendly, "HIIIIII!"
"Get out of my room!" I yell but everyone just completely ignores me and starts rummaging through my stuff, again. "Sorry but if you're looking for something specific, Luke probably already found them!" I muttered irritatedly under my breath.
Ashton headed straight to the same cupboard Luke was at moments ago and I mentally face palmed myself. "Hey look! I found the bras and panties! Bingoooo!'" Ashton boasted, shuffling through all my clothes and checking out my closet a few seconds later.
"Really you guys?"
"Really!" Michael repeats as he jumps uninvited, onto my bed, ruffling up the duvet covers. He quickly gazes over my stuffed animals lying against the headboards - most of them being penguin plushies, sorry, I just love penguins with a strong passion! Mike picks up the closest toy, which happened to be my favorite penguin Mr. Waddles. "Hey look! A penguin! Luke loves penguins too! That's so cool Coco!"
Luke's crystal blue eyes twinkle as he looks at the stuffed penguin in Michael's hands, "Woah seriously?" He chuckles, running up to my bed and takes Mr. Waddles from Mike's hand. Luke doesn't let the penguin out of his site as he squeezes the soft plushie against his chest. "God I love this!" He roared, acting like a little child waking up to his first Christmas and seeing all the presents beneath the Christmas tree.
Upon seeing my baby being hugged to death, I pointed a finger at Luke and tried taking the toy back but he wouldn't let go. "Leave Mr. Waddles alone!" I pouted, crossing my hands over my chest when he didn't budge.
Luke's string of laughter caught me by surprise, he was almost tearing and I gaped a him, feeling slightly confused and hurt.
"You n-named your s-stuffed a-animal?" He chuckles in a stutter, unable to ask his question without making a few snickers here and there.
"Yes! Don't judge me," I defended, now sitting on the bed with an upset frown.
Luke gazes up at me then, through teary eyes. His smile softens when he notices that I'm mad at him, looking away whenever I feel his warm blue eyes staring at me. He comes over, sitting next to me then and wrapping his strong arms around my waist, pulling me closer to him.
"Hey, I'm sorry..." He mumbles in my neck, trying to tickle me and get some sort of reaction.
I punch him playfully in the chest and try pulling away but he doesn't allow it. "Ouch," he mocks, rubbing the spot where I hit him. "You know, if it makes you feel any better, I have a stuffed penguin too and I named it Pingo..."
"Actually I named it Pingo!" Calum shouts, his eyes locked on the framed pictures on my wall and computer desk.
"Same thing!" Luke argues.
Calum stares at him then with narrowed eyes, "No it is not! Do not take credit for naming Pingo because you did not Luke!"
Calum's fake rage made me giggle and Luke looks over at me smirking. I roll my brown eyes jokingly at him and push him away again as I stand up, trying to escape his hold.
"Baby come back!" Luke sang mockingly, making Michael, Ashton, and me laugh in a unison.
"God Luke, you're such a geek," I said, making fun of him lightly.
He shrugs his shoulders, "What can I say? I'm a natural at it." His nerdiness gets me laughing like a hyena and I start snorting wildly, covering my hands over my lips shyly.
"Aww you're so adorable when you snort like that Coco!" Ashton compliments, making me blush and snort even more. Great.
"Ya Chloe, you're so cute when you laugh hard enough that you snort..." Luke mutters softly, and I had to gaze away from his intense blue eyes at the same time I was trying to calm down my nerves.
While the other boys nod in agreement, Calum throws both of his hands in the air, "Totally!"
"Calum you're so silly," I say and he just smiles at me. "But thanks you guys," I grin, feeling a little self conscious.
I forgot Sam was even in my room until he spoke out loud, most of the time he was just quietly talking to Michael while seating in my old black beanbag chair stuck in the corner. "Oh by the way Snowflake-" an old nickname him and Natalie like to call me since my last name is Winters. "-I like the new room makeover... It's nice and girly."
"Haha, thanks Sammy."
"Anytime sugarbug!" He replies, returning his attention back to Mike and now Ashton who just joined the conversation.
I lean against the wall, staring at each boy scattered around my room: Michael lying on one side of my bed, Luke on the other talking to Calum who was resting on the bed post, and Ashton sitting crisscrossed on the floor listening to Sam in the beanbag. "Guys?"
They all paused and stared up at me, waiting for me to go on.
"Can I ask you something?" They all nod together simultaneously, which was a bit creepy and freaked me out. "Uh... I don't know how to say this lightly but..." I stopped, adding more suspense to what I was about to say, "Can you get out of my room!" I chuckled and they all huffed, continuing to not acknowledge my presence.
I didn't think it'd have to come to this...
"Okay fine, your choice. Stay in here and I won't make you dinner." I state matter-of-factly. That shut up the boys fast and Michael jumped out of my bed, running straight up to me.
"BUT! That's not fair! We don't know how to cook!" He sobbed dramatically.
"It's true! We only ever eat cereal for dinner!" Babbled Calum.
I shrugged my shoulders, biting my pink lips innocently, "Well..."
"Okay okay okay! You win!" Cried Mike, bulldozing his way out of the room. I laughed out loud, almost close to snorting again but didn't.
"Anybody else want to stay?" I asked and just as soon as I did, everyone followed Michael hastily out, well mostly everyone.
"Do you love my room this much?" I ask a stubborn Luke still sitting at the edge of my bed. He nods once, giving me a cheeky smile. I lean towards him, meeting his eyes with my big brown ones. "Then I guess Lukey Pokey isn't getting food tonight."
"That's okay, but I still want to see you in that thong..." Luke whispers cunningly, his smile turning into a sly smirk.
I giggle, pulling Luke hand's and forcefully dragging him out of my room, "Come on Luke."
